Let the Peace of God Reign

As song by Hillsong *click link then to the right of the page the arrow*

Father of life draw me closer
Lord, my heart is set on you
Let me run the race of time
With you life unfolding mine
And let the peace of God
Let it reign

Oh Holy Spirit Lord my comfort
Strengthen me hold my head up high
And I stand upon your truth
Bringing glory unto you
And let the peace of God
Let it reign

(Chorus)
Oh Lord I hunger for more of you
Rise up within me let me know your truth
Oh Holy Spirit, saturate my soul
And let the life of God
Fill me now
Let your healing power
Breathe life and make me whole
And let the peace of God
Let it reign

Oh Holy Spirit Lord my comfort
Strengthen me hold my head up high
And I stand upon your truth
Bringing glory unto you
And let the peace of God
Let it reign

(Repeat chorus twice)

And let the life of God
Fill me now
Let your healing power
Breathe life and make me whole
And the peace of God
Let it reign




Isa 52:7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"
8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices; together they shout for joy. When the Lord returns to Zion, they will see it with their own eyes.
9 Burst into songs of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for the Lord has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The Lord will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.

Enough said, AMEN!

LUKEWARM ?! !?

http://sheesh-o-phlipbob.blogspot.com/ the link is to my friends blog about being mediocre. i suggest not just reading her blog; but absorbing the thought of doing your best and not using the easy button.
Col 3:17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
1Cr 9:24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

I on the other had have had a similar spirit (thought) haunting me and that would be a heart that is lukewarm.
Rev 3:15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!
16 So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
I wish i wasn't talking about myself. in fact it was my own being that brought this verse to mind. I am sure it was the Holy Spirit trying to get my attention and my heart and soul back to a vibrant reflection of HIM. During the Christmas season i don't get as excited as most. never have and was thinking this year the next year would be different. that as i heard Chuck Smith say, "...there is nothing wrong with celebrating Christ with my family..." many more words of course, but i am to just focus on that because i don't really "Celebrate" at Christmas time. I am maybe pushed away by the commercialism of it all. i don't like to shop, i dislike crowds even more, and i am a thrift type person who can't make a good decision at a department store and don't even think of taking me to a mall! so i have chosen to not be involved in "Christmas" much. But next year I hope to Remember Mr Smith's words and "Celebrate Christ" with all my Heart, Mind and Soul! "Hark the Harold Angels Sing Glory to the newborn King" God has perfect timing as this is the song playing~ no the song that started just as i ended that paragraph. i wasn't even listening to the "Background" music as i usually do. it fact it is so low (lukewarm) that i can bearly hear it. i will turn it up!
So now the words playing are, "Now i want to say, Holy is Your Name. Let all creation proclaim, Holy is Your Name" this is not a worldly known "Christmas" carole; but don't the words sound like one? this or these are the words to my daily "Christmas" music aka Christian Music. It just dawned on me that "Christmas" is over right, so why keep on if i am not a "Christmas" fan? because i have been lukewarm and not "Celebrating Christmas" everyday as i normally do.
No kidding as i typed that sentence the song, "I will Celebrate" came on. This is what i am talking about. The Holy Spirit! He is Awesome and Powerful and all we have to do is....i don't know LISTEN? be attentive? "All I am, worshipping Him" Yes those were the words in the song as i just typed 2 question marks!! Love You Lord, "Sing to the Lord a New Song"
I am to stop now and focus on HIM and Not me!! Love Ya IBShell :)

the WONDERFUL CROSS

I am so excited! i just found out that my personal computer that i thought was dead to internet activity is alive. so i can now do more! like pictures and you tubes( maybe not you tubes, they won't let me share on Blog only on Facebook?- will figure out later- so click the link) and hopefully soon daily worship/music choices.
I had to chose the wonderful cross for my first pic. if you know me you already understand the choice. if you don't then it's time you get to know me. I am Dared to Move by the Spirit and often Dare You to Move too.
i have rcently been introduced to another Blogger by Klang and will soon add as a follower and allow to see her worship style too.
for now that's it ..... maybe....
Phl 2:5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death- even death on a cross!
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

So I have opened up my heart
And let the beauty of His love come in

I wish there was a you tube for this one! it is a fun ne musically, and the words are perfect just like my God, My King & Creator

enough said

still alive and kicking= maybe that's the problem...

...Kickin'

many, no too many thoughts are going through this ole head the past couple of days.

Spiritual warfare? Maybe. still listening to lessons via radio as i drive and drive and did i say drive? still listen and worship in the morning as i start me day. (that was the irish coming out). Mr L. is still in my live and as much as i wish, hope and pray to see Gods work in him and a changed heart in a person, i don[t and a friend, no lots of people have said he will never change. but as jesus would not give up and died on the cross, i have to keep praying for him to drawer closer to christ and be more christ like to his family. But most of all I have to stay focused on HIM.

i am begining to wonder what that really means? Focus on Him? i heard a couple of comments on that yesterday and the day before. It makes me think that i really don't know how to focus only on HIM. i am self centered. Oh NO Not ME>
yes it does seem to be so.
my spirit is crying again. lately i have had a few times when a couple of tears form and sometimes fall, but i have a complete sense that these are The Spirits tears not mine. Sometimes tears of joy and sometimes pained tears. so is this a new avenue for me to experience? focusing on HIM and being one with His Spirit?

we will see.....

I am humanly tired again, and the job that i still Love is a weight on me as i feel behind in the piles of paperwork i need to file and the organization i lack. all the things i want to do and get accomplished seem out of reach.....

My middle child is doing so much better. it is still a work in progress, a few steps forward with a few more back sometimes. this can be tiring too. Not to fall back into the ways of the past in family issues. easy to blame others and then see that the others aren't here and there are still "things" happening.

My hands and feet are both really bad. and i don't feel so bad; most of the time. i did wake up on the down side today but i am a woman and that could have something to do with it.

i just want to go back to bed actually :) so i better get in the shower and wake up!


You Never Let Go Matt Redman/ click the link

Matt Redman - You Never Let Go
From the album Passion 06: Everything Glorious

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I’m caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won’t turn back
I know You are near

And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?

Chorus:
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me

And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We’ll live to know You here on the earth

Chorus:

Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You

Chorus: (2x’s)

Matt 5:40 And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.
41 If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor [fn] and hate your enemy.'
44 But I tell you: Love your enemies [fn] and pray for those who persecute you,
45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?
47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.


I continue to stand and say, "I want what i get for I am in His Hands and His Will. If anything evil does come against me and He has allowed it i Know that i will be blessed double in the end! Lord i pray that you would be the center of my universe. I pray for your protection this day as i feel weak and weary and don't know what is in store today but you do. Lord a hedge of protection please!

Where've You Been?

Dare you to Move.....Where've you been?

I'll start spiritually because it is most important.
the Spirit is here and guiding; but what spirit do i wear? do You wear?
the spirit of Hope, Peace, Joy and Love or the spirit of stress, and financial burden? the spirit of worry and fret? Notice when i say the Spirit is here and guiding it is the Capital Spirit, meaning HIS spirit. the other "emotions" lower case spirit is what we are allowing to rule us. this was in a recent lesson i listened to. Meaning lessons on the pagan celebration of Winter. In my opinion we are in the midst of one of the biggest deceiving events of the year. the commercial "Christmas". A brother in Christ, a bank greeter, said it best, "'Thanksgiving' is my favorite Holiday, I am thankful everyday for my Savior and Lord and Nationally We can Celebrate that with family, friends, food, fellowship.. What more is there?" "'Christmas' I enjoy everyday of my life! Daily i celebrate the birth of Christ in Me so this buying and spending; seeing everyone stress over it, means nothing to me but deception" i might have paraphrased the end of that one. I shared that i have always felt that way but never put it into those words and really liked what he said. I was just reminded, by the Spirit, to add what started this conversation in the first place. I heard a teacher's commentary after a lesson on Christians participating in the Secular Holiday of Christmas. But knowing that they would, encourage them to not do it without including Christ in each gift. A Book, song, Verse something to edify and glorify the Kingdom. I liked it. so when i entered the bank (to buy quarters for laundry UGH) a very friendly spirit approached me so i 'dared to move' when i was asked how i was, my reply was "More importantly, How are You Spirtually?" he had the prefect answer, "I am blessed, He is my Lord and Savior!" as he placed his hand over his heart. I was then blessed too. I enjoyed my time of fellowship with him and we called each brother and sister as we departed. (i wonder who heard? i wonder if we honor God in this? Nomally i wouldn't add this but for the world i will tell a little more. His skin was different than mine as i am fair complected and he was very dark complicted. I wonder who was watching as we called each other brother and sister? i hope it touched someone, i hope someone over heard us sharing His Love & Joy, Real Christmas talk :)

I was just interrupted by a friend going through all of the negative spirits we were talking about above. and i was able to invite her over for some needed down time. to heal some stress and relief some negative energies for some positive uplifting sisterly love in Him. I hope she receives it :)

okay the Spirit is Here and Guiding me. Many difficult issues are surrounding me and i sense the change, growth and Spirit help me through all of these negatives/evils:

My youngest Child missed a week of school because of stress related health issues.
called me twice last week in tears and the only thing i can really do is pray and suggest she does the same. In all of this i try to communicate with Mr. L and it is getting easier and easier to focus on HIM and share HIM and His ways instead of me and my ways and i am finding it is received better that way too. So have i been dared to move? YES is it a spirit of weariness that follows sometimes. Did i stress during the intitial conversations? Yes the spirit of stress won for a moment until I chose Christ and Prayer to get me into HIM again.
Are gas prices going DoWN? Yes a spirit of hope in finances for all .... Yes
Praises go out to the Lord each time i get gas. I heard it is to be down to 99 cents by january PTL
Do i have Hope ? YES more than many. for my spirit of faith is strong in Him being my provider and see His Hand in my life and Finances.
Over worked? maybe not; but working longer hours to make up for lost time during Thanksgiving and the spirit depression that overwhelmed me the months past. Is the Spirit Healing and Directing...OH YES!! PTL
is the spirit of contintion in this place? yes, middle child and i have a lot of ground to cover in the healing and allowing the Spirit mend relationships and remove the spirit of distrust and discord;; to be restored by the spirit of hope and love.
this is a time process too though. for these preconceived thoughts took years to build! and a lot of merchy, love and prayer, along with deep prayer and devotion, it will take to repair and rebuild new thoughts and habits; even just in responding to one another. Does the spirit of agravation shine too brightly? yes at times, but again the Spirit is close by and reels us back in and there is hope for family unity and the ability to Honor Him in ALL we say and do.
the spirit of Finances depressing gods blessings? yes at times >>> PTL that He has covered me with protection and blessings even as the evil one tries to take income away He lowers my accounts payable, just enough to show me that we have what we need and He is watching over me and my girls and that i receive his promise in Romans 8;28 but lets start at Romans 8:24
24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has?
25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, [fn] who [fn] have been called according to his purpose.
29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all-how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.

WOW that was powerful!!
so is this link. I watching some friends the other day and we counted how many crosses i have in my house. i think it was 17.

There You Go~~ song by Caedmon's Call ~~Lyrics:

Is this the strange feeling
Of you working all to good
'Cause I am so confused
I don't even ask for what I should

When I asked for and deserved a stone
You broke and gave your body as bread
And even the stone that dropped down and rolled away
Spoke of the one who bled

There you go working good from my bad
There you go making robes from my rags
There you go melting crowns from my calves
There you go working good of all I have
Till all I have's not that bad

When I asked for and deserved a serpent
You gave a net full of fish
And even the serpent that told the lie
When lifted high foretold the gift

For you so loved the unlovable
That you gave the ineffable
That who so believes the unbelievable
Will gain the unattainable


i could allow evil to look and find more to worry about or complain about, but i chose to see HIS Glory right now and nothing else :)

i am thankful

"thankful" above link song by caedmon's call lyrics

You know I ran across an old box of letters
While I was bagging up some clothes for Goodwill
But you Know I had to laugh at the same old struggles
That plagued me then are plaguing me still
I know the road is long from the ground to glory
But a boy can hope he's getting some place
But you see, I'm running from the very clothes I'm wearing
And dressed like this I'm fit for the chase

'Cause no, there is none righteous
Not one who understands
There is none who seek God
No not one, I said no not one

So I am thankful that I'm incapable
Of doing any good on my own

'Cause we're all stillborn and dead in our transgressions
We're shackled up to the sin we hold so dear
So what part can I play in the work of redemption
I can't refuse, I cannot add a thing

'Cause I am just like Lazarus and I can hear your voice
I stand and rub my eyes and walk to You
Because I have no choice

I am thankful that I'm incapable
Of doing any good on my own
I'm so thankful that I'm incapable
Of doing any good on my own

'Cause by grace I have been saved
Through faith that's not my own
It is a gift of God and not by works
Lest anyone should boast

that's where I've been, where've you been? Dare you to Move :)

because i'm forgiven

Because I'm Forgiven song by Phillips, Craig and Dean

There's a reason why I bring
You this simple offering
Pouring out my love to You
And though my heart cannot express
All this joy and gratefulness
Still I sing this song of love and thanks and praise.

Chorus:
It's because I'm forgiven
It's because I'm free
It's because You've shown my mercy and You believed in me
It's because You're my Savior
It's because You're my friend
And Your love it lifts me higher than I've ever been.

Oh the wonder of Your ways
Oh the measure of Your grace
Greater than my heart can know
So how could I not celebrate
How could I not bless Your name
Singing out a song of love and thanks and praise.

Repeat chorus.

The reason I started this blog is because i am forgiven. The reason I continue, is the same, I am forgiven. There are many out there that are not. I feel the time is coming so close that i must share some way

But my current lesson is to forgive so that i may be forgiven. I still hold some hurt against my children's father. I must forgive him so i read

Matt 6:12
Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. [fn]'
14 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

When I give, give my all, I find life everlasting.
Then Christ is formed in me

Chorus (3x)

Awake my soul prepare an entrance for Your Glory
And let my heart become a Throne for You to Dwell

10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

On Earth as it is in Heaven. My Your Holy Spirit by my One Desire so that Christ is Formed in Me so that I may live on earth as In Heaven. Praising the Lord for His Gift every moment of the day without the distractions of this world. PTL you are an awesome God!

He Came Through

He Came Through by Helen Baylor

to hear this song it takes a little more work click the link then the song is # 37

the words go something like this:

Who knows what the future brings?
Who knows where the road will lead?
well, the world can change forever so quickly
It's an age of uncertainty
Sometimes when you call on the Lord
Sometimes He can seem so far away
But i say wait, you must believe
Wait, He won't forsake His own
You're Not Alone

Chorus 1
He came through for me
I know He'll come through for you
He's never been less than faithful
And He cannot be untrue
Even though life's storms are raging
He's the one that never changes
He'll come through
He came through for me
And He'll come through for you

My Lord is the first and the last
My Lord sees the end of all time
Even when life goes beyond my understanding
I'm at peace with His hand in mine
God knows what the future will bring
God has a plan for me and you
I say trust and then obey
Believe it will turn out okay
He's made a way

chorus 2
He came through for me
I know He'll come through for you
He's never been less faithful
And He cannot be untrue
He came trough for me
I know He'll come through for You
There's a path that is prepared just for you
He came through for me
I know He'll come through for you
He came through for me
I know He'll come through for you

Don't forget He's faithful, who promised
Every word to us is guaranteed
He only asks us to believe, just believe

chorus 1 again

its hard to believe that i don't have much to say i know. I Praise the Lord Daily, I worship in song daily, and still on Matthew 6 until released by Him

Matt 6:1 Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven..........
...5 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.
6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9 "This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. [fn]'
14 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Each verse has a lesson to learn. Every time i think i have one down, like #11 and the car and gas thing on the way home (titled "Words of Faith=Actions of ??"), i have a new view and a new lesson before me, humbled and ready to receive "what i get" for i know His Promise and that His will is perfect so i accept what comes to me for Romans 8:28 tells me.....
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
AMEN & AMEN Praise the Lord

Blessings to all who read, may His Spirit Touch you with Peach and Love

There's A Reason

There's a reason by Mercy Me

Now's the time
Let the redeemed celebrate
If you know what I know
You can't wipe the smile off your face
Oh people, stand up and praise

Chorus:
There's a reason to dance
There's a reason to sing
Of the sacred romance
With our Savior and King
We lift up our hands
We fall on our knees
To the Son of Man
The reason we are free

There's a reason

All glory to
The King of Kings, Lord if Lords
Oh the value of Your worth
No worldly treasures can afford

And we praise You forevermore

(Chorus)

There's a reason to stand
There's a reason to shout, to shout Your name on high
So we take up our cross, there's a reason to die
Because Jesus is alive

There's a reason

(Chorus)

There's a reason
You are the reason
The reason we are free


Matthew 6:6
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

9 "This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

10 your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.

11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one. [fn]'
14 For if you forgive men when they sin against you,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you do not forgive men their sins,
your Father will not forgive your sins.

Verse 15 is pretty Bold Maybe even DARING ! :) LOL PTL PTL

Words of Faith = Action of ??

Funny Story

Taking my youngest back home traffic was terrible, coming back could have been worse but but i stayed in a hotel instead.
I got Gas for 1.73 on the way there and 1.69 on the way back now the story........
i watched to see how much gas it took from yermo to mesquite add $5 to make there for the full fill up. 5 minutes past Baker i hear a beep. I look around thinking it came from outside. Middle child says "Gas?" i had just looked @ baker and gas was good had plenty to make Yermo. So what would a Woman of Faith do? Pray of course.
So i prayed not once but multiple times, "Thank you Lord for your provisions. I ask that i would make it to Yermo without having to get out of the car until i get to the station in yermo." "thank you Lord for the angels pushing me there so that i dont have to get out" enemy would say things like it's gonna be hot out there in the middle of no where and i would pray again "Thank you lord for your provisions, I know you will provide and i will make it to Yermo" back and forth for what i thought would be 30 miles i know i have enough gas for 30 miles. then i saw a sign saying 27 miles to Yermo....what!.... it was 30 miles 30 miles ago. on the red line now Lord Please!.....
okay next exit gas no, next exit gas Yes.........2.99 what i only have 5 miles left and i stopped and got out of my car, turned it off and put in $2,oo to equal .6 gallons LOL the needle didnt even move. still on the red empty line.
I got back in the car and immediately thought oh my goodness what did i just do?
I didn't allow God to bless me and i didn't trust in Him to provide for me.
Get back on the Freeway and the 2nd exit was the $1.63 gas. Of Course i get off still looking at the gas needle on the empty line. You can imagine at the price it was packed and i was waiting behind and elderly man with a cane comforted that i was at the station and even if i did run out of gas i was @ the station and could push if i had too. still watching the gas needle. the man motions to me that he was goin in, as if he would be a while, it was cool. no biggy. car still running and still watching the needle this man not only walked slow he took his time in the store/restroom. now my gas needle is above the red line and was watching the needle move up. I told my middle child LOOK! she did........the man finally comes out with a full bag of snacks and i can now see white line under the needle showing a gap above the empty red line. LOL look child it moved up even more. I didn't have to stop and get the 2.99 .6 gal gas. i could have saved it toward 1.5 gal gas instead. but no not me, ye of little faith. Goes to show That we think one thing and do another. Again i felt as if the spirit was saying to me, Have i not already shown you in many different ways that i am there for you. that i will not forsake you? Once again he has proven to me that He is more Faithful than i can ever be. PTL

Duet 31:8 The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."

Forgive so that you may be forgiven

Twenty-Four by Switchfoot

Twenty four oceans
Twenty four skies
Twenty four failures
Twenty four tries
Twenty four finds me
In twenty-fourth place
Twenty four drop outs
At the end of the day
Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty four hours ago

Still I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
And I'm not who I thought I was twenty four hours ago
Still I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You

Twenty four reasons to admit that I'm wrong
With all my excuses still twenty four strong

See I'm not copping out not copping out not copping out
When You're raising the dead in me
Oh, oh I am the second man
Oh, oh I am the second man now
Oh, oh I am the second man now

And You're raising these twenty four voices
With twenty four hearts
With all of my symphonies
In twenty four parts
But I wan to be one today
Centered and true

I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
You're raising the dead in me
Oh, oh I am the second man
Oh, oh I am the second man now
Oh, oh I am the second man now
And You're raising the dead in me

I want to see miracles, see the world change
Wrestled the angel, for more than a name
For more than a feeling
For more than a cause
I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
And You're raising the dead in me
Twenty four voices
With twenty four hearts
With all of my symphonies
In twenty four parts.
I'm not copping out. Not copping out. Not copping out.

I'm still focusing on the Lord's Prayer and this song is one of the reasons.
I am learning to dig deep into words for He is The Word and i want to be closer each day of my life and this song made me listen and dig deep as today is the day i get to drive 5 hours to Mesquite to return middle child and see Mr. L and i still have anger and resentment towards him. BUT the Lords Prayer says

Matt 6:14 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. :15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

So there are 24 reasons why i need to forgive him and 24 worldly reasons why i haven't.

Dared to Move.

Are you all that you could be? I know that i am not therefore i strive to be better each day, better than the day before; as I live the Lords Prayer day by day.......
a tear comes to my eye....good bye

On Earth as it is in Heaven

i could not find a you tube for this one and i still need to be taught how to add music to the page. This is a fast and fun song with a Latin sound percussion's everywhere

I Will Dance
Ron Kenoly
Composição: Kirk Williams

In the morning when I rise
I will lift up my eyes and
Behold I will dance

Jesus lifted all my burdens
And He washed all my sins away
And then He took this earthen body
And He made it His dwelling place

Jesus lifted all my burdens
And He washed all my sins away
And then He took this earthen body
And He made it His dwelling place
He said He'd never leave me
Nor forsake me
He'd be with me through thick and thin
So I have opened up my heart
And let the beauty of His love come in

Let's sing let's dance let's celebrate
Everybody make a joyful noise
Let's sing let's dance let's celebrate
Together let's praise the Lord
Let's sing let's dance let's celebrate
Everybody make a joyful noise
Let's sing let's dance let's celebrate
Let's sing let's dance let's celebrate
Everybody make a joyful noise
Let's sing let's dance let's celebrate
Together let's praise the Lord
Let's sing let's dance let's celebrate
Everybody make a joyful noise
My God is great
My God is good
Give me just a minute to elaborate
I got a new heart
A new life
Everyday I'm gonna praise His name
Alleluia alleluia alleluia alleluia
In the morning when I rise
I will lift up my eyes
And behold I will dance

In the morning when I rise
Let's dance

I saw Mr. Lavigne Yesterday as i drove and drove and drove some more to pick up my youngest for the THANKSGIVING weekend. I am so thankful for so many things! we will get to that soon enough

Prayer Request:
Please lift up Mr Lavigne for he looks miserable! His home is a nice size, clean and appealing to the eye, but yet empty; quiet; it needs the joyful sound of love and the sense that peace is in this place.
He drives a Cadillac but it won't "make that many more trips" to Baker for our meetings. Confirmed by a good source it makes noises. Appearance is bleak, sad, mean and angry. where is the Love? Where are the blessings? where is the Fruit?
Please pray for blessing of goodness and kindness to fall upon this man. For God to be evident on the outside as well as the inside. For Gods words to come out of his mouth, especially in front of his children, and for hearts to be minded.

Praise Report!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving unto my Creator, Counselor, Protector & Provider!!!!

I have a home to live in, Not always clean and neat but His Love abounds with songs of Praise and Good times and laughter,i even receive the blessing of others offering to help organize and clean it. PTL
I know He is my Creator, Counselor, Protector & Provider! without Him i would be lost in this world of misery but instead i receive continuous blessings of Good Friendships, Family, His Love and Protection with out fear of the world and the things in it PTL
I have a great job, i love my team members, my management staff and the work involved with all the added bonuses of goods PTL
I have transportation that is reliable, i am able to drive the whole distance, both ways, and gas prices are going down!!! i paid 1.79 in yermo on the way home!!!! PTL
I have food to feed my family and sometimes friends too!!! PTL again thanks for my job which has allowed me to share with many, not just food but other necessities also PTL
PTL for a church family that is so IN HIM and Loving!!! PTL
PTL for i am standing in Him and eternity means more to me than the world. PTL

Prayer request:
For healing in my family. Relationships to Heal. Kindness to be seen on all levels. For sibling rivalry to vanish, for the Lords Prayer says "on earth, as it is in Heaven". For me to always be kind and patient especially after driving 700 + miles in rain or shine. Patient to my family and not allow their sorrows be a burden onto me, but, lifted in prayer with a heart of thanksgiving, for they are His Children before mine and i am to honor Him in that and do the job given in parenting with love at all times and wash away my anger and resentment "On earth as it is in Heaven." that my praises will always be longer than my requests for....

Matt 6:7 says....
And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9 "This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. [fn]'
14 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Dared to Move

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Give Thanks by Don Moen


Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks unto the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son (repeat)

And now let the weak say, 'I am strong'
Let the poor say, 'I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us' (repeat)

Give thanks

It doen't take much to give thanks does it.

Pray, One for Another

Bless me Indeed by Mercy ME

this song has been on my mind a lot lately. So many people think the prayer of Jabez is about things.....is it really? Or is it about a larger territory to spread the word of Him/ God. Last night out of boredom i watched TV. something i usually only do when children are. they were praying for each other, one for another. it made me think of the song too! Yes it's okay to receive blessing! Yes we are to be fruitful. How are you fruitful though? is it by growing up a family in God and His ways? is it by the most toys wins? the last verse below says it all
James 5:7 Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains.
8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near.
9 Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!
10 Brothers, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
11 As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
12 Above all, my brothers, do not swear-not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned.
13 Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise.
14 Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.
15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.
16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
17 Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.
18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.
19 My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back,
20 remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.

Bless me Indeed By Mercy ME

My Jesus, I need you now
May your grace look my way
To hear you sing over me
Make your desires and mine the same

[CHORUS:]
Bless me indeed
Open wide my horizons to share your name
Bless me indeed
Let your hand keep me
from harm and pain
Bless me
Bless me

Lord I cling to your heart
Your love is what I need
All great things come from
May your greatness fall on me

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE:]
The Lord bless and keep you
May his face shine upon you
And be gracious and
give you peace

[CHORUS]

1 CH 4:9 (NLT) There was a man named Jabez who was more distinguished than any of his brothers. His mother named him Jabez [fn] because his birth had been so painful.
10 He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and extend my lands! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!" And God granted him his request

Mansions by Burlap to Cashmere

God of light, light me some passion.
Green fields and lovely mansions.
Let your mansions live inside me. Love me, light me, give me, guide me.
Cross of skin and naked figure.

Broken legs and crooked fingers,
Help me live for good tomorrow,
Today's too late and full of sorrow.
Light is good and dark is evil,
But I'm running around
Through the cross and through the steeples,
Trying to make it to higher ground.
Come on light, please live beside me.
Love me, light me, give me, guide me.
Pride and hate, they live inside me.
I need your love enough to guide me.

Help me walk across these borders.
I'm a pilgrim in deep waters.
Faithful God, like faithful sunrise,
Help me break from all these old ties.
Lead me all to that is holy.
Break these chains, but break them slowly.

God of light, light me some passion.
Green fields and lovely mansions.
Let your mansions live inside me.
Love me, light me, give me, guide me.
Let your mansions live beside me,
Love me, light me, give me, guide me.
Let your mansions live beside me,
Love me, light me, give me, guide me...

As you read that, Did you just pray a prayer? PTL ask Him into your heart and to forgive you of your sins. that's all it takes.

For a Dear Friend Sue who has a Heart of Gold

Invitation by Steven Curtis Chapman

i finally got the links to work right LOL please click the links "invitation" and all other underlined links thanks :)

In the palace in the land of mercy
The King looked down from His throne
He saw the sick and the homeless and hungry
He saw me lost and without hope
And moved with compassion
He sent out His only Son
With the invitation, to come

This is your invitation
Come just the way you are
Come find what your soul has been longing for
Come find your peace
Come join the feast
Come in
This is your invitation

So I stood outside the gates and trembled
In my rags of unworthiness
Afraid to even stand at a distance
In the presence of holiness
And just as I turned to go
The gates swung open wide
And the King and His only Son
They invited me inside

This is your invitation
Come just the way you are
Come find what your soul has been longing for
Come find your peace
Come join the feast
Come in
This is your invitation

So now will you come with me
To where the gates swing open wide
The King and His only Son
Are inviting us inside

This is our invitation
Come, sinner, as you are
Come find what your soul has been longing for
Come find your peace
Come join the feast
Come in
This is your invitation
This is our invitation
This is the invitation

My Dear Friend Sue~
How Heavy you have been on my Heart.
I really did want to do that catching up @ Deb's. You have so much to tell.
Let's take a walk down Memory Lane shall we:
if you click on the LINK of Invitation the first scene may find you right there on Memory Lane. The large body of water surrounded by hills and cliffs. What good times. blue skies, blue waters, lots of friends, lots of Fun.
I long to have more fun as i did on that trip to Lake Powell. But my fondest Memory of the trip (as i say that many more flood the gates`LOL) But #1 is in a boat (jeff's) between a very narrow slice between 2 huge rocks of cliffs so high i got dizzy trying to look up. Remember....................
what next...................
Climbing, yes Climbing. i love to climb on rocks i just hate getting down, remember?
As if yesterday. My left ankle was healing from a roll @ the Riv (stepped in a small hole walking up shore) so when i was jumping in a 10 foot hole a but all the pressure on my right foot and fractured my heal in 2 critical places. OH the Pain, i remember the pain. No wait i remember a strong young lady, yes strong in mind, strong in spirit, strong in body! she picked me up and carried me through the rocks and things. all the way to the boat and then sat with me forgoing her own fun and pleasures. Oh how i admire you!
Now i know things change, the World get Hard.
Sue, I would love to invite you to spend a weekend at my home. It's a small apt but it will do. You tell me when and we will do it. there is a small hill in walking distance; we can go for a walk and talk.
Okay my next memory; not the fondest just #2
Ron went for his morning walk and came back with 2 rabbit pellets for me, for as he saw them he thought of me, i don't think he meant as poop either. I think as a creation of God. it's one big circle. It was his way of letting me know that he had prayed of me i think. I really don't remember what he said when he gave them to me.
#3 those little pellets where in one pocket and my pain medicine was in the other.
Yep You guessed it. @ night around a camp fire full of pain i took the worng pills.

Chris Tomlin Party

When Nothing Satisfies Jennifer Knapp

when it rains or it shines on this pillow of mine
i will lift up my head to the sky
so i have chance to see
where my hope has come from
know there's nothing that i can't abide

When Nothing Satisfies You
when nothing satisfies you
when nothing satisfies you
hold my hand

send forth Your Light Lord,
and send forth Your Truth
let them guide me to Your Holy Place
then will i go to the Altar of God
to my Joy, my Delight and my Strength

When Nothing Satisfies You
when nothing satisfies you
when nothing satisfies you
hold my hand

why are You so downcast o my soul?
why so disturbed within me?
put your hope in God
my Savior, my King
my Savior, my King

When Nothing Satisfies You
when nothing satisfies you
when nothing satisfies you
hold my hand

Dare you to Move

Out of my Hands~ and into Yours

Out of My Hands by Matthew West

There you go changing my plans again
There you go shifting my sands again
For reasons I don't understand again
Lately I don't have a clue

Just when I start liking what I see
There you go changing my scenery
I never know where you're taking me
But I'm trying just to follow you

It's out of my hands
It's out of my reach
It's over my head
And it's out of my league
There's too many things
That I don't understand
So it's into your will
And it's out of my hands

There you go healing these scars again
Showing me right where you are again
I'm helpless, and that's where I start again
I'm giving it all up to you

It's out of my hands
It's out of my reach
It's over my head
And it's out of my league
There's too many things
That I don't understand
So it's into your will
And it's out of my hands

Move me, make me
Choose me, change me
Send me, shake me
Find me, remind me
The past is behind me
Take it all away
Take it all from me, I pray

It's out of my hands
It's out of my reach
It's over my head
And it's out of my league
There's too many things
That I don't understand
So it's into your will
And it's out of my hands


Well i have not had the desire to write lately; until i was listening and this song came on. It's kinda where i am i guess. Just working on being in His Perfect Will, In His Hands, Wanting what i get and when i don't i am working on changing that thought or emotion to the thanksgiving of wanting what i get.

I am still in the word, listening to lessons via radio, worshiping in Praise & Prayer, asking for forgiveness and to see the light and any sin that needs repentance.

I am tired. i am having symptons again as i did in the beginning of the year when they thought i had cancer. but biopsy showed not, just age LOL so i am a little fatigued with that and it's just a season that will soon pass.

work is good, God is Great, family is still broken but working to accept and grow in it. with the Holidays coming i am torn on what is right or not and forgot or just realized i didn't summon Him on this issue so i will right now!

Blessing to all who Read this in Christ :)

Acts 2:22 "Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.
23 This man was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, [fn] put him to death by nailing him to the cross.
24 But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.
25 David said about him: " 'I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will live in hope,
27 because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
28 You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.' [fn]
29 "Brothers, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day.
30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne.
31 Seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, [fn] that he was not abandoned to the grave, nor did his body see decay.
32 God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact.
33 Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
34 For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, " 'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand
35 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." ' [fn]
36 "Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"
38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off-for all whom the Lord our God will call."

You Alone are the Only One i Need

You Have Done Great Things

Charlie Hall - Psalm 126 (You Have Done Great Things)


When the Lord brought back
The captive ones of Zion
We were like those who dream
Our mouths are filled with laughter
Our tongue with joyful shouting
They say among the nations
The Lord has done great things
for them

The Lord has done great things
for us
The Lord has done great things
for us
And we are filled with joy
We are filled with joy

Chorus:
You have done great things (4X)

You've restored our hearts
Like streams that flow
Those who sowed in tears
Have reaped their joy
And returned with shouts and songs
Carrying the fruit of God


Psalm 126:1
A song of ascents. When the Lord brought back the captives to [fn] Zion, we were like men who dreamed.
2 Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, "The Lord has done great things for them."
3 The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.
4 Restore our fortunes, [fn] O Lord, like streams in the Negev.
5 Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.
6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him

The Heart Of Worship

When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless your heart

I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the ways things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus

King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath

I'll bring You more than just a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus

Its all about you
Jesus



Matt Redman - The heart of worship Lyrics

i have been busy car shopping and praying but have i really been in worship?
Have You?? Yes that's a Dare You and Me to Move! :) take a minute now

do you remember "Take my Life" that was my choice



Take my life and let it be consecrated Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of thy love.
Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for thee.

Take my voice and let me sing always, only for my king.
Take my lips and let them be filled with messages from thee.
Take my silver and my gold not a might would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use every power as you choose.

::Chorus::
Here am I, all of me.
Take my life, it's all for thee.

Take my will and make it Thine it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart it is thine own; it shall be thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord I pour at your feet its treasure store
Take myself and I will be ever, only all for thee,
Take myself and I will be ever, only all for thee.

Here am I, All of me.

PSALM 91:1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [fn]
2 I will say [fn] of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling-- even the Lord, who is my refuge--
10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 "Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."

So Yesterday was my 6 month anniversary with my wonderful employer, job, income, free goods. Today?
Today is the day my car went away. Yes they took my car for 45 days.
My Sin, I called Mr Lavigne and Blamed him for what he has done to me both financially and emotionally. In Sept i whacked out because of a court hearing that i heard of 4 days before it took place. since i did not respond in time i was in "default" and the courts gave him everything he asked for on paper. he took that paper to take money but didn't take the girls. He's all about $ I only ever wanted love.
So in Sept when i was 'whacked out' i didn't pay a car payment. I thought i did. in fact when honda called me in Oct they said i see you made a payment on the 1st, but when can you make another. nothing else. i just thought it was "them" again. so when they called in Nov. they say your up for repo can you pay even 2 car payment ($500) i said yes i plan to on the 15th they said won't do. I gave it to God and forgot it....Til this AM before 7 i might add. when in my p j's i was to empty my belongings out of an already lifted car. I wasn't happy but i didn't think i was rude but he thought i was saying i am just doing my job. anyway. trying not to cry yet again, i start to empty box after box of product for the job that i love with a possible promotion on the calendar and a car needed to do this traveling job. As today i was to be in Temecula, tomorrow is home office praise God for then saturday and sunday before Monday when I am Required to be in the office to prepare for a buying call in SanDiego on Tuesday both of these appt. are with my Sales Mgr.

For the most part i am in Him. tears are still winning but I know that i don't understand and that he does!! I know that just yesterday i saw a sign with an 04 taurus for under $7K thinking would that cut my payment in half? should i look into it. I know that Mr Lavignes name is on that car still and will be until paid off and God's Will Is Perfect and so is His Timing So i am trying to stay In Him without being angry or scared half out of my wits. For i know His Plan is to prosper me i have many verses going thru my mind right now and they are all of His Love and His Promises to me His CHild and Bride. All i want in life is to Hear Well Done Good and Faithful Servant. How does one separate that from i need a job to survive? I don't think i am built to be a missionary and don't they even have cars?

OH i was just reminded to Praise God that they waited til today. Saturday i HAD to be at an account for an event, Mon. Tues. & wed I HAD TO be somewhere for appts with clients and bosses. today was a better day it gives me 4 days to hear His plan and get it together. Pray for me please!

need

Need by Benjamin Gate

The fear I carry in my heart
The things that change and turn around me
What is it that I become?
What is it that it's all undone?

I long to be close to You
So close I disappear into You
Doesn't matter what I try and do
You show me what is real and true

The person that I hope to be
Not bound by anyone's opinion
A person with history
Moving to my destiny

Whatever I'm needing
Whatever I'm feeling
I give up to You
I give up to You

You hold me tight in Your hand
That's when I feel the peace that I crave
You make me brave to withstand
You take me thru this barren land

God I hear You speak so clear
Your words melt away my fear
Even when I'm far - You are near
Your love will never disappear
That's when I lose myself in You...

I just wanted to say that this, the first song i heard this morning, as i wake up on the late side for me, said how i feel this day (most days)

Whatever I'm needing
Whatever I'm feeling
I give up to You
I give up to You

God I hear You speak so clear
Your words melt away my fear
Even when I'm far - You are near
Your love will never disappear
That's when I lose myself in You...

Just Praising my God again and you?

Mighty is the Power of the Cross

Devotion to Christ

I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be lead astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
2 Corinthians 11:2-3 (NIV)

A core value that we must always carry in our hearts is that true transformation comes through intimacy with Christ. Because a society is only truly transformed by the very manifest presence of God in its midst, we must value seeking intimacy with Jesus and His presence over any program-based activities. Paul speaks in this passage of desperately desiring the Church to be the pure bride of Christ. But he also expresses his fears that the Church will be deceived and turn its devotion to other things. It is not uncommon in the Church today to experience an entire worship service without hearing the name of Jesus even mentioned! We have multiple activities that we believe are designed to draw people to Christ, but we rarely mention His name in connection with them. When Jesus is lowly marginalized and replaced with the ideas and programs of man, and the Church is headed down a path of deception. Recommit yourself to a pure and simple devotion to Christ as the priority of your heart.

Lift up and worship the name of Jesus today.
Repent of the ways that you have marginalized Christ.
Ask the Lord Jesus to give you a fresh and new vision of Him that reprioritizes His presence as the core value of your heart.
Determine to use the name of Jesus frequently in your conversations with both believers and unbelievers.
Confess any times that you have been ashamed of the gospel of Christ.
Pray that the Lord will give you the courage to walk out your life with pure and simple devotion to Him.
Pray that our church will proclaim the name of Jesus without fear of how others might receive it.

Excerpts taken from Focus on the Family, “Heal our Land” devotional

Its a long one today. lots of road to cover.

I was 12 when i accepted Christ as my personal Savior, Saved, Born Again, Baptized with the Holy Spirit, the Spirit Came Upon me, The Spirit Entered me. I have heard many of these phrases this past week or so. what's the point?
I have known Jesus for many many years. I have had relationship with Jesus for many years and spoken with the Spirit just as long. My path has been not always been straight. in comparision to the time line, not more often than straight. But i always knew that HE was with me. I always knew i was Saved. I always knew Heaven was waiting for me. I actually hated it when Greg Laurie would say "i am not sure you were ever saved" he says this often when he speaks of back sliding. i knew he was wrong in my case and who was he to say this? (still don't know that one). But in recent lessons i have been hearing about the sound of the trumpet and a few lessons on "Revelations" with different lessons on Old Testiment Law. Although the Cross brings Grace and Mercy i have struggled with the concept of Old Testiment and New. Always leaning towards the Old for Truth and Conviction. The past week i believe that when in SIN you don't "Hear" the Spirit. So if in Sin how will you hear the Trumpet Sound on That Day? ? ? i don't have a confirmed answer i feel i can share i just have my own convictions ~ so we end that topic with the question.

Next i had heard that we need Fun. We get tired. Spiritually tired. Run down. Well i had fun! I saw friends for days past and learned of Spiritual Maturity. I found discernment was in full force that night. I enjoyed myself and the company. I spoke to a young man who i think was a believer. He stood strong and erect with his cane and sun glasses but would not move without the assistance of another.(he seemed to be recently blinded maybe?) after watching him (off and on) for hours i finally bid my good byes with a word of praise for his journey and physical appearance and for the first time i saw his dimples. We went back and forth almost as if debating but i think he was encouraged and i know we both enjoyed the interaction. The people he was with went to Azusa Pacific so i found that interesting as well. Some of this flock though very young. One girl "Lisa" 19 smoking drinking dancing did i say "Dancing" with jeans and a camisole "dancing" i had to rebuke her "if you touch me 1 more time i will slap you!"
What is it with dancing today that these girls think it's okay to touch another as if the other was a Pole and we were in a "Gentlemens Club"? If you don't know what i mean that's good!
So after a while i asked if i could speak to her in private and she apologized and actually said that she dances that way with her mom. Please pray for this girl Lisa and her mother. She said her Grandmother is 56. so i think it is a pattern of young child birth?
Anyway later she fell off a chair and i thought she hit her head on the bricks but praise God she didn't. So i went and talked with her again. Being bold and all. Although i didn't say Jesus Loves you I showed Jesus' love and gave advise about "Rookie Moves" and learning to drink without being drunk......long talk.....when i walked away i heard someone say good lecture 'ibshell'. I didn't realize that others were listening and that's okay. Maybe one of these adults allowing these kids to drink and be at a party like this will follow the lead and place limits.
something just happened i hit a key or something and words appeared so there was probably a sentence you tried to read that was missing a few words to make sense and all. but i lost the train of thought too. so Pray for Lisa please.

Okay well it was good to have a good time with old friends and i had plenty more to say but it's time to stop for a moment and say so long for now In Him :) Love ya!

AWAKE MY SOUL So that CHRIST CAN BE MADE IN ME

When I close my eyes
I can see Your glory
When I raise my hands
I can touch your face
When I bow my knees
I stand before You
And Christ is formed in me
Awake my soul prepare an entrance for Your glory
And let my heart become a throne for You to dwell
And when I need Your Holy Spirit more than life itself
Then Christ is formed in Me
When I lose myself I reflect Your image
When I break, break my will, then I am whole
When I give, give my all, I find life everlasting.
Then Christ is formed in me

Chorus (3x)

Awake my soul prepare an entrance for Your glory
And let my heart become a throne for You to dwell
And when I need Your Holy Spirit more than life itself
Then Christ is formed in me

The above version i know by Phillips, Craig an Dean could not find a link for the actual music to play sorry. It is very powerful though. read it as a prayer as i must do the same today.

Lord please awake my soul, release this sin that lives in me lest i do not hear that trumpet sound at Your Mighty call on that day.

I have many times thought i was a "David" as he was madly in love in God and wanted to honor Him always but fell in the mud a lot. different sin. but every time he seemed to being doing well with the Lord he'd fall again maybe worse than the time before. In a radio lesson yesterday i heard that he had many sins naming some off, but when the teacher said 'Anger' i was shocked. sorry my bad, i guess i don't know David as well as i thought, or maybe just not the bible in a whole? anyway Anger has been my issue for a few years now. I have learned it is a 'righteous anger' but i still fall into sin but handling it ungodly, without righteousness.
So i did a good show again last night with X. i was short and brief but just to see his face makes me boil. why can't i move on? why can't i forgive? Awake my Soul oh Lord and let me live again! as i pray for His Peace, sing songs try to listen (too much clutter to hear) my tears swell from crying again. At least its not daily i say, at least the girls don't see and difinitley not arguing on a daily basis, as before.
i just thought of a friend's recent email with a scripture let's go find it. :)


Phil 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving , present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

hmmm, not what i was think, i am trying but it seems that i am in sin and can't hear Him or feel Him let's look for something else too.

Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead. I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13-14 (NKJV)

Prayer Focus: It is worth it to abandon everything for the sake of Christ! Paul learned this firsthand in his desperate desire for Christ to be glorified through his life. Paul abandoned everything, including his personal comfort, worldly possessions, and eventually his life. Paul was willing to learn how to suffer with Christ, sharing in His death and ultimately in His resurrection (vs. 10-11). If we really believe that God’s desire is for the transformation of our city and the healing of our land, then we must commit ourselves to walk in complete obedience. If God has called us to participate in this grandest of callings-the salvation of people and the restoration of His creation-then what hinders us from abandoning ourselves to this calling? Paul stood before King Agrippa and said: “I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision” (Acts 26:19 NKJV). Let us join with Paul in abandonment to obedience to the heavenly calling of transformation.

Worship God as the One who is worthy of our worship.
Give praise to the Lord for His heavenly calling on you.
Confess the ways that you have strayed from His calling.
Recommit yourself to a life of abandonment with expectation, believing that God will fulfill His Word.
Pray for the Lord to call our believers to live boldly with abandonment and expectation.
Pray that leaders in our church and community will commit themselves to lead with radical obedience.
Worship and adore the Lord for calling you into extreme hope and expectation for the healing of our land. Tell the Lord how much you believe His is worthy of your abandonment to Him!

Sounds like good advise. Just get over it on move forward. let's try that.
but i can't stop there
"but is it really that easy?" "you'll just think about it later" spiritual warefare...."Jesus will you get that for me" answer that door and send it away.

Come, now is the time to worship

Come, now is the time to worship
Come, now is the time to give your heart
Come, just as you are to worship
Come, just as you are before your God
Come

One day every tongue will confess You are God
One day every knee will bow
Still, the greates treasure remains for those
Who glady choose You now

http://www.google.com/search?q=come+now+is+the+time+to+worship

Deu 5:9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

Deu 8:19 If you ever forget the Lord your God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed.

enough said!

Everything Glorious!

Father God we Come to You with Praise for You Make Everything Glorious!

Lord when You Died on the Cross You Said it is Finished. I ask You is it now just Starting?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSeatwGBzo8



I know that last night and today will both be noisy. I urge you all to STAND.
For God is on the Throne!

Yesterdays word for me was in Job. Although I immediately thought it was someone else i must remember not to do that for exactly what the word was.



Job 41:1 "Can you pull in the leviathan [fn] with a fishhook or tie down his tongue with a rope?
2 Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?
3 Will he keep begging you for mercy? Will he speak to you with gentle words?
4 Will he make an agreement with you for you to take him as your slave for life?
5 Can you make a pet of him like a bird or put him on a leash for your girls?
6 Will traders barter for him? Will they divide him up among the merchants?
7 Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?
8 If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the struggle and never do it again!
9 Any hope of subduing him is false; the mere sight of him is overpowering.
10 No one is fierce enough to rouse him. Who then is able to stand against me?
11 Who has a claim against me that I must pay? Everything under heaven belongs to me.
12 "I will not fail to speak of his limbs, his strength and his graceful form.
13 Who can strip off his outer coat? Who would approach him with a bridle?
14 Who dares open the doors of his mouth, ringed about with his fearsome teeth?
15 His back has [fn] rows of shields tightly sealed together;
16 each is so close to the next that no air can pass between.
17 They are joined fast to one another; they cling together and cannot be parted.
18 His snorting throws out flashes of light; his eyes are like the rays of dawn.
19 Firebrands stream from his mouth; sparks of fire shoot out.
20 Smoke pours from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over a fire of reeds.
21 His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames dart from his mouth.
22 Strength resides in his neck; dismay goes before him.
23 The folds of his flesh are tightly joined; they are firm and immovable.
24 His chest is hard as rock, hard as a lower millstone.
25 When he rises up, the mighty are terrified; they retreat before his thrashing.
26 The sword that reaches him has no effect, nor does the spear or the dart or the javelin.
27 Iron he treats like straw and bronze like rotten wood.
28 Arrows do not make him flee; slingstones are like chaff to him.
29 A club seems to him but a piece of straw; he laughs at the rattling of the lance.
30 His undersides are jagged potsherds, leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge.
31 He makes the depths churn like a boiling caldron and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment.
32 Behind him he leaves a glistening wake; one would think the deep had white hair.
33 Nothing on earth is his equal-- a creature without fear.
34 He looks down on all that are haughty; he is king over all that are proud."

The teachers commentary was that Nothing can be done without God, His Power & His Authority. Even in the story of Job this is shown.

Next verse is what happens to those who Forget that last verse and speak other than this.

Then Job replied to the Lord:
2 "I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted.
3 You asked, 'Who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge?' Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.
4 "You said, 'Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.'
5 My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.
6 Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes."
7 After the Lord had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.
8 So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. You have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has."
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what the Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.
10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before.
11 All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought upon him, and each one gave him a piece of silver [fn] and a gold ring.
12 The Lord blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the first. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys.
13 And he also had seven sons and three daughters.
14 The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch.
15 Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.
16 After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.
17 And so he died, old and full of years.

I find it "ironic" while going thru some trials last month Pastor Chuck Smith started his study on Job. I was captivated. then yearning for more because i missed most of it, never on at the "Right" time. Or is God's Timing Perfect?! PTL
Yesterday he ended his serious in Job with the above 2 chapters in, 20 minutes i might add. I find it very fitting in light of Yesterdays election.

As i was typing that another song came on by a group called Holy Hip Hop. I tried yesterday to get lyrics for one of the raps but they don't seem to have lyrics on the web. they do have a website though and maybe songs i did see a 'store'

Anyway the words coming across the speakers when i was typing Pastors comments were
"....Hold on tight. the Lords coming back, He's coming back right quick like...."

Hold Tight! Stand to Take a Stand to Spread His Gospel.

another word i heard yesterday was (from an unremembered book and verse) ....all the children of the earth are His. He desires for not one of them to perish.......

Spread the word. I think that was Greg Laurie; but that's all to say at this time :)

Have a great Day for this is the day the Lord has Made. Let us be Glad in It.

Lord You Have My Heart

Delirious? Lord, You Have My Heart



Lord You Have My Heart

Lord you have my heart
And I will search for yours
Jesus take my life and lead me on.

Lord you have my heart
And I will search for yours
Let me be to you a sacrifice.

(men) And I will praise you Lord
(ladies) I will praise you Lord
(men) And I will sing of love come down
(ladies) I will sing of love come down
(men) And as you show your face
(ladies) Show your face
(together) We'll see your glory here.

Written by Martin Smith ©1994 Curious? Music UK

"Let Me be to YOU a sacrifice!"

Our sacrifice is very little compared to what He did for us.

For He sacrificed His Whole Being for You and Me.

Think about it.
He left a Perfect Place of Joy and Glory to come and experience everything you could ever experience.
He Was Abused, physically, emotionally and verbally.
He Was tortured first with temptation by Satan himself, then with the knowledge of what was to come. His stress level was so high that he sweat blood from his forehead. Then the physical torture of the beating and cross. Then accepted/took on (physically and emotionally) ALL SIN so that you and i could Dare to Move by accepting Him as Our Lord and Savior so that we may experience the HOLY SPIRIT, and the Presence of the Lord here on earth and in Heaven above.

In Return what sacrifice can you offer HIM? to be Dared to Move. to tell a friend.

To give thanks daily for your many blessings. To give freely: your time to HIM, as he gave it to you with your birth anyway it is HIS; To give to His people, time, $, friendship, tasks, food, shelter; Love opps should have been #1; and we could go on and on these are all simple things that bring you closer to HIM. but compared to what he went through for you and me, not much!

How did we get so wrapped up in the things of this world? all the things of the world is what the enemy uses to distract us and tear us away from Jesus.
Pray helps us stay in tuned with Jesus. I heard something a few days back on spiritual warfare. when you feel temptation or the chatter in your head simply say,
"Jesus will you get that" as if it is a knock on the door and your friend and savior is also with you, you can always ask for his help and if answers the door what will he say to the unwelcome visitor?
I have used it this week and i can say it made me temptations go away :)

Psalm 146 Praise the Lord. [fn] Praise the Lord, O my soul.
2 I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
3 Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save.
4 When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.
5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God,
6 the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them-- the Lord, who remains faithful forever.
7 He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets prisoners free,
8 the Lord gives sight to the blind, the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down, the Lord loves the righteous.
9 The Lord watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.
10 The Lord reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Praise the Lord.

but the bottom line is to Give your Sacrifice of Praise in Return.
Praise the Lord! for He is Good All the Time!
